The development of social media has given rise to a new form of Qur’anic interpretation known as popular tafsir, characterized by concise, communicative, and contextual explanations. This study aims to describe the form of popular tafsir on the Instagram account @quranreview and to analyze its epistemology, including sources, methods, approaches, and the validity of interpretation. This research employs a qualitative method with a content analysis approach. Primary data are obtained from the content of @quranreview, while secondary data are drawn from relevant literature in the fields of Qur’anic exegesis and epistemology. The findings show that the popular tafsir presented in this account is marked by simple, persuasive, and easily understandable language, systematic content structure, and the simplification of Qur’anic meanings oriented toward practical messages. In terms of sources, the references used are varied but not consistently applied; some content cites hadith and classical exegetes, while others provide interpretations without clear references. Methodologically, the account predominantly employs the ijmali (global) method with a contextual approach, and occasionally uses a simple thematic method. The dominant style of interpretation reflects popular da‘wah, emphasizing educational, motivational, and social relevance aspects. From an epistemological perspective, this tafsir is populist in nature, prioritizing accessibility and practical usefulness over methodological rigor. Its validity is more often determined by audience reception rather than scholarly authority. This study concludes that popular tafsir on social media plays a strategic role in expanding access to understanding the Qur’an, yet it requires stronger methodological grounding and clearer references to maintain accuracy and depth of meaning.
